Computer pictures on the pub screen, oh dear. The worst performance for a long time 1st half. So off I toddled home to either listen or watch if I could get it. I got most of it and although all 3 goals were good, ours were better. Yet another one out in Jonas. But we have breathing space now. The commentator was on about how long it had been since we beat Swansea and mentioned the 1946 win I posted earlier. Now, what was that bloke's name just been sacked ?

March 16, 2014 4:05 pm

No Sir, SACKED ! Read the club's statement. He 'resigned' in his view on a Social Network. The club said he was UNPROFESSIONAL and sacked him. The FA are now demanding he serve his 5 match suspension whereever he ends up AND pays the fine they gave him.

Now back to Monty Python}

"We have in the studio Ann Elka who has a theory".

"This theory which is mine, is mine"

"Yes, but what is your theory ?"

"It is mine".

"A brontosaurus is thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle and thin again at thr far end"

We Only Need One Half!

Yeah, I read it Cyril, several hours after he said he wouldn't play for the club again, in other words, he resigned, the club said he was sacked, because he couldn't resign and it was unprofessional.

"West Brom are sacking Nicolas Anelka for gross misconduct after the striker announced he was quitting the club." BBC

So in other words, the club sacked him for doing something they said he couldn't do anyway????

Is it me? lol, he resigned Cyril,

p.s. whats this resigned in 'his' view business? is he not allowed to resign like anyone else who isn't a slave? I thought that was the fundamental difference between slaves and freemen, the right to withdraw labour?

March 17, 2014 7:13 am

Now Wonoh, you more than most would know the legalities of this. You agree a contract with an employer. When you, or they decide to terminate it, it is standard practice to put that decision in WRITING to both parties. It certainly isn't normal practice to tweet your decision to all and sundry BUT NOT YOUR EMPLOYER !

March 17, 2014 10:00 am

Cyril, whether he is a cad depends on your point of view, fact is, he withdrew his labour several hours before the Club said he was sacked? how can they stop him playing for the Club when he had already stated he hadnt. He may of breached his contract, I dont know, I

We Only Need One Half!

cont.... have not been privy to it, if you had stated when you worked you refused to do it any longer, than your employer had said you were sacked, who would be right? in the real World that is?

Simple answer is, if the Club had not 'sacked' him, would he have played for the Albion again? no he wouldn't would he, because he had already resigned, so the 'sacking' becomes superfluous, doesn't it?

Maninsider, no he is not a relative, Maninsider, are you racially prejudiced? same relevance in the question, just pray if you ever get persecuted some one would be willing to stand up for you so vociferously.

But you would be daft enough to come on this board after our first win in months and not even mention the game, once? just to have a pop at another poster? I suspected you from the start, and now youve proved my point.

Secondly, its not a racist gesture, not in this country anyway, and its dubious has to whether it is any where else. Why do you think it is not illegal anywhere in the World if it is such a racist gesture, duh uh!

Thirdly, given the conditions that they were trying to impose on him, he stood up like a man should, although I wouldn't expect a follow the crowd sheep like yourself to comprehend that, but there it is.

Man Insider.

This has nothing to do with the rose tinted brigade as Cyril would qualify as one of those and his views are totally opposite to WONOH's. It's not even about football, it's something much more important than that in the scheme of things.

I don't know if you are a long time reader on here but if you are you'd know that if I believed he was being racist or anti-semitic I would be condemning him from the rooftops. Neither of these things has a place in football or in any human beings mind.

You' like many others have chosen to interpret a number of things to suit your argument and I don't blame you for that.

Pep Mel has said that Anelka was a great help to him but that the disruption this affair has caused was affecting the club and now that it's sorted it will allow him and the players to concentrate on the job in hand. Not exactly how you represented his words.

Has he resigned was he sacked? I'd suggest that it was 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. The club have been forced to make a stand because of the decision of this kangaroo court (and perhaps because it suits them to have a player off the wage bill who would barely be able to feature again this season.) The player is forced into a corner whereby agreeing to be censured, effectively admits to being a racist. Something he's just spent a quarter of a mill of his own money to fight against.

Yes we can all agree that it was stupid to make what is accepted to be a political gesture. BUT, it is only a political gesture in France, it means nothing in this country and is not racist or A-S as has been admitted by the FA's own expert panel that was set up to hang him and couldn't.

So is he a big time villain or is he the victim of a political witch hunt the FA have carried out on behalf of the French Government and pro Zionist media machine? Don't take this lightly Man Insider, like I said it isn't just about football.

We Only Need One Half!

Maninsider, true to your kinds form you now trying to play the victim, why don't you just say why you have more interest in arguing with another poster than commenting on our first win in yonkers?

Yes you did offer to buy drinks before the Man U game, but after past experiences of Mini Buses getting punctures, and the club giving wrong tickets out, I decided to decline, although, you are more than welcome to buy me one at The Vine before the Cardiff game.

What a majority of Albion fans think, show me a poll where its been more than 50/50? and if you care to look at the bottom of this page you will see I have posted a poll where people who can look at this issue dispassionately voted 3-1 that Anelka had been stitched up by the Liberal elite, the only people being made mugs of here are the ones that are buying this P.C. crap.

So offensive gestures are legal then is that what you are stating? if you stick two fingers up to a Copper at a game chances are you will get lifted, when have you ever heard of anyone, anywhere, in the World being arrested for doing a Quenelle? so by your own logic, it can not be offensive, can it?

Full credit to Pepe Mel for playing three Centre-Backs, about time he had the rub of the green. Sure it was hard going, what should we expect as we have lost so many players through injury and other from our squad since the season began. We have to manage with what we have left of it and carry on. The only station I could connect to was Radio WM. The guys on there, Franksie and Reago hadn't a good word for ALBION all afternoon, just perpetual side swipes. I thought they were going to burst into tears at the final whistle. So I will refrain from giving my view on the game. Things can now improve with this win and our confidence will soar with these three points and we shall all be closer together, the players changing-room and in the stands. Our 2,000 fans were fabulous and were a worthy twelfth man, I'm sure the lads felt your up-building support and so did Pepe with all those Spanish flags flying. Me, I'm over the moon and dead chuffed to be associated with fans who get behind their team and Head Coach no matter how tough the going gets. You are a credit to your club.

Normality has so many pigeon holes mate, i.e. It is normal to be calm, it is also normal to be irate, it is the mood and situation one is in that governs the normality, is it not normal to limp if one has a damaged leg or should we say the one with a limp is abnormal?, the choice belongs to the individual. Normality is like football, it can be argued over a lifetime but I wouldn't like to say whether that is normal or not. L☺Ls.

March 18, 2014 9:09 am

Hi Quinton.

I've read somebody else on here say that Franksie is a Blues fan, so it's in doubt who he supports.

I never trust a broadcaster who refuses to admit his allegiance. Tom Ross on Free 80's is a Blues fan and wears his heart on his sleeve regarding Blues but at the same time is scrupulously fair in his treatment of all of our clubs.

Franksie and Reago (whoever he is, I'm also suspicious of broadcasters who try to be one of the lads by giving themselves nicknames.) Anyway Franksie is an Adrian Durham type of broadcaster in that I'm sure he doesn't believe half of what he says but knows that it's an easier road being controversial and winding fans up than doing a proper show and talking sensibly about football.

Well that was a great comeback at Swansea, They really fought hard in the second half to come out on top with the first win under Pepe Mel Hopefully we can build on that over the next two / three Games to try and make us safe from relegation.

Great win been a long time coming I must say never thought we would get a win here, like many others hope this is a turning point ridgewell is still a big problem, and no brunt in squad and we win is that a sign ? Keep the starting 11 that has won today bar Olson because he's suspended. Boing boing coyb.

baggiebornandbred

Why oh why did sessegnon decide to play 30 minutes day, for the entire time he was on the pitch second half there players could not get anywhere near the bloke, he was sublime second half.

dozza played very well and so did morrison a really solid midfield anichebe again no goal but worked his socks ofd ridgewell actually played ok and thought dawson and gmac looked solid,

Really lads how hard was that to do wanting to be first to every single ball no matter how distant it was we tried around 70 minutes sess ran 35 yards to make a slide tackle in the corner which won us a throw that little bit of quality and hunger was there to see

but lads pat on the back the noise in that place was bloody deafening amazing support all the way through the game we replacate this at home and away at hull we will win im sure of it

Both of our goals were born out of great composure. Our full-backs are not fast enough to be wing-forwards, they can't get back quickly and they certainly shouldn't raid at the same time. We are getting there. Glad to see Dorrans back.

March 16, 2014 6:57 am

Now lads. Much of the pooh has been removed, Pepe has got a monkey off his back, the players hadn't got a clue what system it was first half but boy, how they battled in spite of the worst start imaginable, so can we have ONE MORE TOGETHERNESS that we all stick by ?

It was a TEAM out there, obvious to all, yet STILL we have people criticising members of the team, one of whom wasn't even playing due to injury.

No more picking out individuals for nasty, spiteful comments. PLEASE !

A corner may well have been turned yesterday. Those 2,000 showed what can be done with absolutely BLIND SUPPORT in the face of adversity.

CantelloRocket 78

March 16, 2014 8:26 am

Cyril,

In the home game against Chelsea, when the visitors scored near half time, a girl behind me jumped up and shouted ' that was Ridgewell, that wassss....... '- then her tone suddenly changed, and she went embarrassingly quiet, because she must've realised it had nothing to do with him Liam, it was scored the opposite side, and another defender was at fault-

basically, if you keep picking out players to verbally slaughter on here - especially at this point of the season - you-

1) Act like some kind of disturbing, intimidating internet stalker-

2) rubbish the Head Coach, because he picks the team, and Pepe was given massive support yesterday-

3) add nothing positive towards our pleas for UNITY-, and

4) absolutely bore the pants off the rest of us, who can make our own minds up what we think of individual players without someone pushing their personal opinions down our throats every week, thank you very much......

at the end of the season, players will leave and others will replace them, but for now, for the umpteenth time - this is what we've got, so let's all try to push forward TOGETHER !!!

A lot is down to people not understanding what they see, the lady in question has probably never played football herself which goes some way to excusing it but somebody on here said the same thing after the Chelsea game.

It happened a lot in Robbo's day. He would get dragged inside because he CH's had messed up and then get blamed for not being in the LB position to tackle the winger while the CH's would receive no criticism at all likewise the left side midfielder that hadn't tracked back to cover.

Ah well ignorance is bliss they say.

We Only Need One Half!

March 16, 2014 10:05 am

Well, lets be honest, it was Jekyll and Hyde, again, first half we never really looked in it, and I did say to my son just before half time K.D. needs to have a word with Pep because we are going to get nothing again at this rate.

And lo, what a transformation the 2nd half was, we looked sharp, crisp, and quicker to the ball to the point of making Swansea look positively pedestrian for large parts.

I did say before the Man Utd game, don't worry about it, if we get anything from those games its a bonus, but these are the ones we need to concentrate on for the remainder of this season at least, teams around us, where a win does double the damage.

Chuffed for Mel, call it what you will, monkey off his back, duck broke, whatever, it now gives him a bit of breathing space, hopefully the ridiculous rumblings that were beginning to surface from some on here about removing him before the end of the season will abate.

Still, lets not do a wulfie and pretend everything in the garden is suddenly all rosy again, its not, lots of hard games still to come, but play like we did second half and we should be easy on.

The fact remains its still most defiantly in our own hands, given the season we have had, at this stage, you couldn't wish for much more than that.

First half was really poor and we could have been 2 or 3 down. At half time pepe changed it and we played the way he has been wanting us to. Pressing attacking play and the 2 full backs spent more time in the swansea half than their own. Thanks to everton for scoring in the 93 minute, made my day and gave us a bit more breathing space. Same again next week but for 90 minutes

Hi Bob.

On the Cheatski thing.

A bit of poetic justice yesterday as Willian was sent off for making as much contact as Reid did with Ramires and then the cheating little basket gets himself sent off and finally Jose gets sent off because he wasn't allowed to referee the game. Having said that he'd have probably done a better job than the incompetent idiot Foy that was doing it.

The biter bitten, shame it was Villa that were the recipients though instead of us. Still they keep saying it all evens out although we appear to be running out of games for all these decisions that are going to go our way.

March 17, 2014 7:19 am

Bully, we did get one correct decision against the Swans which we would not have got against Chelsea, Man.U., etc. When the ball struck our defender's arm, there were those commentators screaming penalty !

The ref was brilliant though, he was on top of the play throughout, (well all the time I had a picture).

We Only Need One Half!

Cyril

March 17, 2014 4:07 pm

Wonoh, I didn't know who was ref. The pub had Sky on and couldn't get ours by satellite, so all the bits were missing and a smoky, jerky computer picture had to do by which time we were already a goal down with no replays. I stuck it and stuck it, then I said, "I'll go home". Which I did. I got what would have been a fine picture if that horrible 'Allow, Deny' had reacted to 'deny' but it wouldn't, so a few hundred cuss words later I found one that was the same as the pub and watched that. Whoever he was, he was right up wih play the whole time.

The Real Bully Hoo.

March 17, 2014 4:37 pm

WONOH.

Yeah he missed a Liverpool penalty in the first few minutes, gave them one that wasn't, missed another one that was nailed on, failed to send off Rafael but gave the penalty (how was he not preventing a clear scoring opportunity there?) and sent off a player that hadn't committed a foul.

So I suppose by his own standards he had quite a good game.

PS.

On referees, don't get me started. Chris Foy had a lousy game, failed to send of Joe Bennett for Villa then sends off Willian for the heinous offence of running alongside a Villa player.

And now it seems very likely that because of Mourinho's criticism he won't ref a Chelsea game for a while.

How come we don't get to ban refs that give dodgy decisions against us?

Sorry I've just answered my own question haven't I. there are none left.

A great 2nd half after a shaky 1st half but my god what a transformation

Better without Brunty like I said it would be.

Sess and Mulumbu great goals and especially See performance 2nd half.

Great to see the battling Dorrans back

Ta. Ta Ridgwell, your days are numbered, every time we play him we are automatically a man down

Pepe....Keep the faith with him, he will turn out to be a great manager if he is allowed to stay here

Fans....GREAT, GREAT performance from them in a very intimidating ground.

Now, I am off to Dubai in a few hours for 3 days to meet up with my salesman who went there on Friday and we are staying in the same hotel Brunty is stopping in....YES Brunty is in Dubai....any messages or questions....my MAIN question is as to WHY is he in Dubai and not at our "State of the art" sports recovery Dept at the Albion ?

Absolutely no doubt a great win after all we have had to endure...I did feel like we could get something from the game...lets put all the talk and back biting about the Anelka situation away now and concentrate on cheering us towards PL safety...from what I seen about the scenes from the players at the end of the game hugging each other and Pepe Mel shows me they now have togetherness and the will to play for each other....so lets be the spark to better things...well done to the great away support at Swansea.

Kev in Mallorca

March 17, 2014 8:31 am

Quint

We can only live in hope that the togetherness shown by all after the match filters it's way down to all supporters.

The back biting you quite rightly call to cease is usually sparked by posters who seem to have a problem with others who are like minded in the fact that they know things are not as they wished but shall we say, go a little easy with the criticism.

Another pet hate of some posters is the fact that a there is a certain amount of "friendship" shown on these boards, too which they make constant reference to in nearly every one of their posts.

This "friendship" has been built up over years of posting, obviously some more than others, and not always harmoniously as we all see thing differently but as we all have a common goal disagreements are usually accepted and forgotten.

There is no need what so ever to constantly make detrimental reference to personal preferences unless it's in a humorous way which is understood by all involved.

I'm not whiter than white with the content of my posting but hand on heart I think I can say it's always reactive not proactive.

As you say let's hope that "the spirit" shown on Saturday is infectious which can only benefit WBA, especially if it turns the 21000 into the "spirit of the 2000" from Saturday, create wall to wall sound and support the team as one.

BURNLEY BAGGIE

March 16, 2014 3:41 pm

This is a great win so chuffed to bits with that. The three at the back was forced upon PM as Brunt is injured and he had to use Ridgewell to balance the left side going forward, but credit to him for having the balls to go with it.

Brunt being injured is a blessing in disguise as PM seems to use him as he is left footed and captain because he feels he had no choice.

Thought both goals were tremendous and a draw at Hull will keep us on track

Thank god for that winn. After the first 45, I have to admit that for the first time this season, I had the thought about relegation creaping in. Its beyond me how to halfs can be so different, but hey, who cares now.

Happy for Dorrans, and think he could play a big part in the run in. Foster kept us in it, most notable when Mulumbu lost the ball just outside our panalty area ( yet Again, sorry the punt, your forgiven ) to send a Swansea player clean trough just minutes before we scored the second. Phew.

I see a lot of poor teams in the bottom, and 35-36 points could be enough. So 7 or 8 more draws should do it :-) :-)

Is this the 'Jackett the Hat' who tried to make sneering, sarcastic jokes last week about Albion struggling to score, then after Wolves couldn't find the net this week against a club at the bottom of the third division, disappeared out of sight by sneaking back into the shadows as per usual, to hide his bright red face...???

He'll probably be back on here in a couple of days pretending nothing happened, after removing his head from the sand.

Bully, the phrase, "Damned with faint praise" smacked me across the bonce when I read that line too. That 2,000 on Saturday were the 'First Of The Few' in our battle for survival. The din they made was awesome. I just LONGED to be there with them. Maybe soon someone will coin another phrase, "I was there at Swansea". rjbaggie said he danced round the living room. I'll bet he wasn't alone. My daughter and husband were in our living room when I yelled "Get In There". They just knew not to disturb me.

Well i must admit after we went a goal down in what i think was inside 2 mins a thought here we go again. But what a transformation in the second half.O'k we didn't have it all our own way,but thanks to Foster we got through.By god we played some good stuff. Just wondering though,where can i get a season ticket for second halves........................
